How to use

Type	How to set Default	Example	Recording
Date	Toggle “Set Default” option Then select any of the values in the drop down, and you’re good to go.	In a task list you can make all the created tasks due date as tomorrow, this way no new task will be without a due date.
Static List	Toggle “Set Default” option Then Select an option from the list to have it as the default value.	In CRM newly created leads can have its status set to “New lead” by default.
Status	Default value is mandatory for status The first option in the status list will be put there by default	This will ensure that any task or record created in any of your processes always starts with a designated status.
User	Toggle “Set Default value as Creator” This will always assign the user who creates the record to this field by default.	If the team creates their own task it’s very useful to toggle this option, this way it will get assigned to them automatically.
Checklist	Toggle “Set Default value as Creator” Start adding items to the checklist and we will find them every time you create a new record	This is particularly useful if you have the same checklist for every record, or at least common items for all checklists in a list.
Formula	Default value is mandatory when formula is used in the Main Field	Main field in any record can’t be empty, thus even when the formula returns nothing there should be a default value.
